had to leave work early yesterday and used to time to hit some stores, while headed to my LCS. 1st wal mart i stopped at (which shellhead found 1 neo classic IM a week + ago) and there they were....picked up the deadpool, mystique and us agent. i left 2 ironmans, and 1 doom. i didnt see punisher or blade (not sure which is shipping first). i hit 4 more wally worlds and nothing else.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that any case available now will include X-Force 'Pool, Mystique, Punisher, and classic Doom. If only because I haven't seen any trace of their alternates online...not reviews, not on eBay, nothing.

Just went to Wal-Mart to pick up Ma's medicine and hit the toy section to found a case finally up on the pegs. No chase or variant from what I saw. Everything on the back looked the same as the figures on the pegs. I picked up Deadpool and Mystique as they were the only two I thought worth getting. Dr. Doom, 2 Iron Man, Punisher, US Agent still left. Probably not for too long.

I did not see Blade, nor is he displayed in the back of the packaging.

If you sign up and create a reserve account with Impulsecreations you can reserve you a Blade figure. That's how I got my Paperbag and FF Spideys and will be doing the same for variant Blastaar.

What do you mean reserve? Is that different than their Want List?

It's very hard to explain in terms but you sign up for a subscription service. This is not only for comics but action figures, dvds, any and all offered. Once you sign up, you get access to a list of items that can be reserved for preorder. What I usually do is reserve through my subscription and also request in my want list so I get an email letting me know the item(s) have arrived at the site. Here's a link to the subscription service. I'm a huge Marvel Comics, "comic" fan now and I subscribe though IC. What I enjoy the most is that they charge me weekly instead of monthly for I have a weekly subscription. Plus they give me piece of mind. I know that with IC I reserve a Hyperion figure or Sentry then unless Hasbro messes their order, I will get my Sentry or Hyperion and that's the same with Blade.

Okay, just that quick, I'm done with MLs in a whole. When you make Ironman in his "oversized" armor look undersized next to the rest of the figures in the wave and give Spiderman such a big head and make US Agent same height as Spiderman, well yeah. Okay, back to MU. JK. Hasbro has improved with this line but still wish had more of a budget to get the scale of Ironman as he should be. Maybe sometime in the future., near future.
